The beauty of grignard reagents is their relative ease of production, in simple terms just take an alkyl halide add magnesium and stir to get RMgX which can then be reacted further.
The difficulty in using calcium is that the metal itself is less reactive and calcium organometallics are relativelly unstable. Calcium organohalides are also more salt-like and are not as soluble as their Mg counterpart.
This whole area is not that well understood, the mechanism of production of grignards is unclear. Certainly alkylcalcium halides are known but they are difficult to prepare and are described as extremely unrreactive.

you react the grignard with either an ester, an acid chloride or a ketone to get a tertiary alchohol. if you react a grignard reagent with an aldehyde you get a secondary alcohol and if you react the grignard with formaldehyde (methenal) you get a primary alchohol. same thing happens if u use R-Li instead of a grignard reagant.
Uses of phenyl in domestic purpose
Gold is a very inert metal. It does not readily react with water or the air(oxygen). Calcium on the other hand is a very reactive metal . If jewellery was made from it , it would react with the skin, air, and water.
Because limestone is not dangerous when in contact with plants/animals etc. whereas I think calcium hydroxide is an irritant

No, it is not correct. The correct phrasing would be "What did you prepare for breakfast?" or "What did you have for breakfast?"
It helps to speed up the process. Instead of waiting around a lot longer, you can use the bath to hurry up the process.
yes
Sometimes breakfast is unhealthy
It is a trace fossil.
why was gravity filtration use instead of evaporation
Because limestone is not dangerous when in contact with plants/animals etc. whereas I think calcium hydroxide is an irritant
Because that's the way it is in maynooth!
